This is one of my favorite salads (as you can tell by the half empty salad dressing bottle). It's quick and easy AND my husband even likes it which is an added bonus because it's healthy too! Here is what you need:

Spinach

Strawberries

Chicken

Poppy seeds (I add them to my salad dressing but if you don't have them it doesn't make that big of a difference.)

Balsamic Vinaigrette (I found a really good one at Costco by the fancy cheeses it's made by "Cindy Kitchen"). Or if you want to make your own here is a recipe I found on the allrecipes.com:

Cook your Zatarans Rice and Beans according to the directions on the box. While that is cooking cook your chicken and shred. Mix your chicken and rice and beans together. Divide mixture into 12 Flour Toritillas with seam side down. Pour your Green Enchiliada Sauce over the top and add cheese. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.

Combine all fruit in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together limeade, honey and oil until well blended. Stir in seeds. Pour over fruit salad and gently mix together. Serve immediately. You can also add ½ cup slivered almonds for an added crunch just before serving.
